The “De Ris geet op d’Rees” (The Giant’s Journey) interactive trail—also known as Erliefniswee—is a uniquely creative experience that animates the world of the Parc Merveilleux’s beloved mascot, the giant “De Ris”. Starting at the Stade Municipal in Bettembourg near the Parc Merveilleux, visitors choose between a short loop of approximately 6.3 km (about 1 h 35 min to walk) or a longer, 10.3 km circuit that meanders through the Stréissel nature reserve (roughly 2 h 40 min) ([visitluxembourg.com](https://www.visitluxembourg.com/de/tour/de-ris-geet-op-drees-interaktiver-erlebnisweg-kurz?utm_source=openai)).Each station along the trail reflects a scene from a comic book crafted by artist Andy Genen and writer Lucien Czuga, where “De Ris” embarks on a quest with his parrot companion Lori. The trail features around 15 giant-themed installations created by local artists—including sculptures, street art, and augmented reality (AR) triggers activated via smartphone ([visitluxembourg.com](https://www.visitluxembourg.com/de/luxemburg-kennenlernen/the-good-life/bettemburger-maerchenpark-und-erlebnispfad?utm_source=openai), [bettembourg.lu](https://bettembourg.lu/news/de-ris-geet-op-drees-sentier-decouverte-interactif/?utm_source=openai)). For example, you can make the giant statues or his parrot come to life through AR, or spot whimsical scenes like the oversized red cap on the water tower, a rustic bench, or the golden apple at the entrance to a fairytale-like orchard ([visitluxembourg.com](https://www.visitluxembourg.com/de/luxemburg-kennenlernen/the-good-life/bettemburger-maerchenpark-und-erlebnispfad?utm_source=openai)).The route is designed to be accessible to families: it's easy in difficulty, suitable for strollers and wheelchairs, and uses clear signposting featuring the giant’s hat or “BB1” icons ([bettembourg.lu](https://bettembourg.lu/news/de-ris-geet-op-drees-sentier-decouverte-interactif/?utm_source=openai), [visitluxembourg.com](https://www.visitluxembourg.com/de/tour/de-ris-geet-op-drees-interaktiver-erlebnisweg-kurz?utm_source=openai)).
